When his time was approaching, he summoned his daughter ‘Āishah (may Allāh be pleased with her) and advised her, saying, “My dear girl, we were put in charge of the Muslims, and did not take a penny. W ate bruised and crushed food. We wore the lowest quality garments on my back. We have absolutely nothing that belongs to the Muslims, except this Abyssinian slave, this mature camel and this shabby bit of velvet. So, when I die, send it to ‘Umar.” [Siyar Al Khulafā
Al Rāshidīn (Biographies of the Rightly Guided Caliphs) p.36]
